Johann Sebastian Bach. | Born March 21, 1685. Died July 28, 1750. | "The King of the Organ." Born at Eisenach, | Prussia. His father and grandfathers for five | generations, were musicians. Studied violin, clavi- | chord, organ. In 1708 he was made court-organist at | Weimar; 1717, orchestral director at Koethen; in 1723 | and until his death, Cantor of St. Thomas' School | at Leipsic, and director of music in the churches of | St. Thomas and St. John. He was twice married | and had twenty children, of whom ten sons were mu- | sicians. He died totally blind, and was buried in the Church of St. John. |
He was the greatest organist of the 18th century | and a famous performer on the clavichord. He was | the first to teach the use of the thumb and all the fin- | gers for playing. He wrote the only perfect fugues, | and other masterpieces for clavichord and organ. | There were hundreds of cantatas, compositions for | orchestra, pianoforte and organ. Some of the most | familiar are the "Inventions," "Well-Tempered Clavi- | chord" – which introduces Preludes and Fugues in all | keys – "French and English Suites," "St. Matthew | Passion." |

From Prelude No. 1, "Well-Tempered Clavichord."
